The Ancient City of Salamis

The ancient city of Salamis was founded by Tefkros in the Bronze Age located to the north of Famagusta (Gazimagusa). The earliest findings at the ancient city date back to 11th century BC. The Salamis Ancient City was discovered with excavations carried out between 1952-1974 and is one of North Cyprus’ most important sites to visit. The ruins of the gymnasium, the baths, the forum and the agora which one can see whilst visiting the ancient city are all from the Roman Period.
